Below is an article about the Yerba Bueno Cemetery (yes, "Bueno" is misspelled,
it should have been "Buena"). Included in the article was an index of the
those buried at the Yerba Buena Cemetery, AND at Mission Dolores "...since
the early part of 1850". These were extracted from the the records of the
City Sexton, Nathaniel Gray. Since the article was dated 23 October 1853,
it is assumed that everyone had died and was probably buried by that date.

"The above is a correct representation of YERBA BUENO CEMETERY, the
principal burial place of San Francisco. It is situated one mile and a
half south-west of the city, on the road to the Mission Dolores, and is
about an equal distance between the two places.

"The view is from a daguerreotype taken expressly for this purpose by
Messrs. JOHNSON & SELLECK, and shows the entire grounds as seen from
an elevation on the south-west corner, immediately back of the keeper's
house, which is seen conspicuously in the foreground. That part of the
ground on the right of this building is occupied exclusively by Chinese
dead, by which it will be seen, that the mortality of this nation in San
Francisco has been considerable. Back of the grounds, partly hidden by
the hills, with its distinctness obscured by distance, is discerned a portion
of the upper part of the city.

"The grounds of the Cemetery were set apart for its present use, in
the survey of the city, in the latter part of 1849, and the first internments
wer emade in it in March, 1850. It has now above four thousand occupants,
although many bodies have been exhumed and sent to the Atlantic States
for final interment. Among this four thousand are to be found the natives
of almost every country and every clime of the habitable world. Here the
Christian, the Mohammedan and the Pagan, sleep side by side. The ground
which has been consecrated by the holy canons of the Christian for the
reception of a true believer, has hallowed the dust over the remains of
an adjacent Pagan. The swarthy believers in the precepts of Confucius,
have here chaunted the solemn dirge of their creed over a departed child
of the Sun, while each strain has been mingled with the simple prayer of
the Christian for the repose of another soul. The children of the antipodes
have met for a common objectthey have found a common home. The inhabitant
of the mild Italian clime, of the sultry equator, and of the frozen North,
have found a final home in the same zone; and the same breeze that moans
sorrowfully over the tomb of the European and the American, sighs alike
its mournful requiem over the tomb of the Asiatic and the African. How
many bright hopes and joyous anticipations have been buried beneath its
surface! How many widows and orphans, who are thosuands of miles away,
have, entombed within they solemn precinct, a husband and a father! Could
we but glance over the catalogue of its victims, and know their separate
histories, how few would we find of that number, who last hours have been
soothed by a friend's solicitude, a wife's gentle attentions, a sister's
affection, or a mother's love? Few indeed!But their rest is the no less
peaceful, and they still live in the memories of those for the welfare
of whom they forsook their friends and their firesides.

"In the succeeding number of this paper will be commenced the publication
of the names of all who have been buried in Yerba Bueno Cemetery, alphabetically
arranged, also the former residence of each, together with the names of
the persons buried in the Mission and Catholic Cemeteries since the early
part of 1850. The only record of them is now in possession of NATHANIL
GRAY, City Sexton, who has kindly permitted a transcript of them for publication."
